Do you guys over there in aus drive on the wrong side of the road like we do and ifso did they make a 70's f series pick up RHD? be a bit of a mission to swap from LHD to RHD tho eh!!
wish i'd known of that earlier have just swapped the bulkhead in mine from AC to non AC,could have sourced a RHD set up over there somewhere,oh well just have to be careful when overtaking.
We have RHD F-250's and F-350's based off the 2001 platform, alot of the components are similar to the 2003 - steering, suspension, axles etc., however the diesel changed to the 6.0l in 2003, and to the torqshift trans as well..
So there is a "right" sode...hum...wonder if that is why people keep honking at me
now whcih side is the right side

BTW Fred, seems to me I heard somewhere that if you import a LHD vehicle to Australia, it MUST be converted to RHD, they won't allow it on the road with LHD. Is that true?

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
You can run a LHD vehicle, but it has to have special certification from a registered government engineer, and be over 25years old.
Ferrari did run a LHD car here briefly when they circumnavigated the globe in a F355 for thier aniversary, but that required an allowance from the federal government.
We have some of the strictest automotive laws (bar Singapore), certain states require a full roadworthy annually, which includes around 500 different things being checked (mostly safety related).
